Private lessons are the best way to learn, and privatelessons cost $20 for one hour lesson. We can meet once a week, twice a week, or more often,depending on the amount of time you have available todevote to study. Less than once a week tends to beineffective.

If you would like to study with a friend, you canshare the cost of the lesson. This allows you tosplit the cost, but it will only work if you are bothat the same level. If one of you has more fluencythan the other or studies harder than the other, theshared lesson time will not work as well.

The first lesson is complimentary so that you candetermine if my teaching style is right for you. After the first lesson, payment should be sent byWestern Union for each month in advance. WesternUnion charges a nominal fee for this fund transfer.
